We present a line-search algorithm for large-scale continuous optimization. The algorithm is matrix-free in that it does not require the factorization of derivative matrices. Inste...
In order to be economically feasible and to offer high levels of availability and performance, large scale distributed systems depend on the automation of repair services. While t...
In order to provide a concise time-varying SISO channel model, the principle of maximum entropy is applied to scattering function derivation. The resulting model is driven by few p...
Let be a finite building (or, more generally, a thick spherical and locally finite building). The chamber graph G(), whose edges are the pairs of adjacent chambers in , is known t...
We study the problem of producing a global ranking of items given pairwise ranking information, when the items to be ranked arrive in an online fashion. We study both the maximizat...
